Shinobi Ninja is an American rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The band is known for high-energy performances and eclectic sound, blending music genres. They have two lead singers, male and female who use various singing techniques.
Prior to joining the band, Baby G was a professional dancer, performing for such artists as Rihanna, Santigold, Jason Derulo, Ricky Martin, Mylène Farmer, Cassie, P. Diddy, LL Cool J, Nelly, and Daddy Yankee.[1][2] In 2006, she made an appearance in the video "Long Way To Go" by Cassie.[3]

Meanwhile, Axis, Mike, and Dave were in a band called Stalley & The Wax Machine,[citation needed] which broke up in early 2008. Shinobi Ninja formed shortly afterward. Several members of the band met at a rehearsal and recording studio called Progressive Music in the Film Center Building in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan. Duke Sims, Jonny, and Mike worked at the studio, and Baby G took vocal classes there.[citation needed] In 2010, their original bass player Jonny left the band, and Alien Lex replaced him.[citation needed]

Of the six members of the band only Duke Sims and Alien Lex are originally from Brooklyn, both being born and raised in Bensonhurst. Lead singer Baby G is from Lawrence, Massachusetts. The twins, Mike and Dave are from Piermont, New York. Axis Powers is originally from Toronto, Canada
